Upon hearing this question, a peculiar expression appeared on Xia Chuan’s face.
Someone actually asked, my brother really is foresighted!
"What use is the Xia Li, that’s a good question. If you ask me, it doesn’t have much use!"
As soon as Xia Chuan said it was useless, everyone looked at each other, some confused.
But then, he shifted his tone and continued loudly:
"But it will be the fundamental difference between our Great Xia and other camps.
The Ice Abyss World is vast, not to mention other places—just near Twin Dragon Mountain, there are countless camps, not to mention the northern regions of Five Ape Mountain, Pingxi Plain, Long Mountain Boundary, and south of Xing River, east of Twin Dragon Mountain, where Moao Mountain is located, human camps are innumerable.
With so many camps, what is the difference between us and them? What is the difference between Great Xia and them? The difference lies in this volume of Xia Li in my hand!
We adhere to Xia Li, we act with procedures, our hearts hold systems, everything is based on rules and rituals to follow, which is why we are Daxia people.
This is our distinction from the barbarians; we are no longer a camp that only knows how to forage and survive in Ice Abyss World but a camp that has its own rites, rules, and systems, or you could say, its own civilization.
As Great Xia grows and expands in the future, this power of civilization will continue to expand and strengthen, through the hands of all of us, spreading in all directions, relighting the flame of human civilization across the entire Ice Abyss World...
As Xia Chuan’s words fell, the hundreds of people inside and outside the house were already silent, with emotions clearly affected, a faint glimmer of light appeared in their eyes, and they gradually became excited and invigorated.
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Xia Chuan was not surprised.
When he heard these words from Xia Hong three days ago, he felt the same way.
To be precise, it was only after repeating these words in full that Xia Chuan truly felt the powerful infectiousness contained in every word.
We follow Xia Li, and therefore, we are Daxia people.
Such a simple sentence, yet it had an inexplicable power, prompting a sense of sacredness as a Daxia person within Xia Chuan.
Even as the Lord, he was , so what about others in the camp?
Everyone remained standing in place, not coming back to their senses for a long time.
Seeing such a strong reaction from everyone, Xia Chuan exchanged a glance with Qiu Peng beside him, and a smile appeared in both of their eyes.
This small-scale lecture today was just a preview.
As the wedding proceeds as planned, others in the camp will surely know about Xia Li’s existence, and then it will be logical to spread Xia Li.
"Father-in-law, it’s settled then, the wedding will be held on the second floor of the wooden building, three days later, that is, on the eighth day of May. I will come to pick up the bride half an hour before dawn, how about that?"
"Good... good, that’s settled then."
Xiao Kangcheng was still immersed in the words just now, and was only brought back by his mother-in-law Lin Lan beside him, quickly nodding in response.
"Half an hour before dawn, we can still make it, right?"
Hearing the voices around, Xia Chuan smiled and said, "The wedding will be held after dawn. At that time the wooden building will be closed, anyone from the camp can come to visit, no one will be refused, just afraid that the hall can’t accommodate so many people, everyone will have to seize a spot in advance."
The crowd burst into laughter upon hearing this, each expressing with great interest that they would definitely grab a seat and enjoy the excitement.
Watching everyone cheering, Xia Chuan’s face was also full of smiles.
The goal of his wedding was very clear, to set a model for everyone in the camp, so naturally, as many people as possible should come.
Now, however, there were too many people in the camp, more than twenty thousand, and one main hall couldn’t accommodate them all. It was necessary to prepare well to avoid any accidents.
Thinking of this, Xia Chuan did not linger any longer, leaving with Qiu Peng and the others to make the preparations ahead of time.
"Congratulations, Brother Xiao, on gaining such a fine son-in-law!"
"Lord taking your daughter as his bride, Brother Xiao, congratulations!"
"These six gifts, probably few in the whole camp can afford them, Brother Xiao, you have gained great honor today, congratulations."
"Oh, not at all, not at all, mutual joy, hahahaha."
Hearing the familiar congratulations in his ears, Xiao Kangcheng, though modest with his words, never stopped smiling, his mood naturally soared to the utmost.
Jing Valley, at dawn.
Since no one had lived there for more than a month, the more than thirty houses in Jing Valley were basically abandoned.
However, since the end of last month, when Xia Chuan appointed Yue Feng as the station chief of Jing Valley and left Yuwen Dao and the other five hunting teams there, things began to change.
In the very center of Jing Valley, seven houses have been cleaned up, with some beast bones piled up at the doors, clearly long lived-in.
The middle house on the right had its door open.
Yuwen Dao stepped out of the door, grimacing in the cold light outside the house, but after just over an hour, he couldn’t withstand it and retreated indoors again.
"Okay, the Director is a bit stronger than me. I can only withstand it for half an hour at most."
"Old Meng can too, about an hour."
"I’ve just started Reshaping Skin, can’t even last five minutes."
By the door inside, Hong Guang, Hong Tian, Zhu Ling, Zhu Yuan, Meng Yi, along with Yue Feng—six people in total—were gathered around a coal stove. Seeing Yuwen Dao come in with a large blue patch on his body, they couldn’t help but tease.
Among the six, Yue Feng couldn’t join the conversation, as he had not yet entered the stage of Reshaping Skin like Yuwen Dao and the others, able to briefly appear under sunlight, so he could only watch the others with a look full of envy.
